Canada Has Not Yet Received an Invitation to Adhere to " Kellogg Treaty to Outlaw War Doubt Whether This Country Will Sign With Great Britain or as one of the Smaller Powers ' May 17. Canada, it is expected, will accent the proposed OTTAWA, Keilog Treatjr to outlaw war but two points, it is understood, have arisen in tbe negotiations. First, the Dominions will adhere to the treaty if they de-girt to adl'.ere. Second, that so far no formal invitation to adhere has been received. The original invitation to adhere was addressed by Secretary Kellogg of the United States to the four great powers, it being un-ck.-i.tj,d that the invitation to the unaller puwer would follow. Tbe in-1 vliation to the great powers apparently made no mention of tbe British Do-.Unions nir have they reoelved an In- ititlon as among the unaller powers. Tbe British government outlined to Ottawa its views on tbe treaty and requested tbe views of tbe Canadian government on it but Canada did not receive a formal In iXation to adhere. When the Invitation la reoelved tbe point will arise as to how and when Canada will give her adhesion to the treaty will she sign as a British Dominion at tbe same time as' Oreat Britain or will she sign later aa one of tbe smaller powers? Reports from Washington that separ ate treaties will likely be negotiated, with the Dominions ware received here with uvr.se. There has been no intimation '! such separate treaties.
